DOS/Windows-specific code: cli-cmds.c

* cli-cmds.c:

/* FIXME: this should be auto-configured! */
#ifdef __MSDOS__
# define CANT_FORK
#endif

This seems to cry for either an Autoconf test (based on whether the
compiler defines __MSDOS__ or not) or perhaps the whole snippet should
be moved to config/i386/xm-go32.h.

* cli-cmds.c:shell_escape()

#ifdef __DJGPP__
/* Make sure to return to the directory GDB thinks it is, in case the
shell command we just ran changed it. */
chdir (current_directory);
#endif

This code is there because the current working directory is a global
notion (as opposed to being private to each process on Posix
systems). Windows ports, at least the non-Cygwin ones, probably want
this as well. Suggestions how to test this, anyone? Should we define
a GLOBAL_CURDIR macro (zero by default)?
